Sister Blackberry 10\u00a0Discussion Suggestions \u00a0for Book Clubs or Reader\u2019s Groups:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. How much different would Viola\u2019s life have been if she had made a different choice that night in 1936?<\/li>\n
  2. How much different do you think Nadine\u2019s life would have been and the lives of her two daughters?<\/li>\n
  3. What is it about Viola\u2019s personality that makes her both loved and revered by\u00a0her family\u00a0and the people of Rayes\u00a0County?<\/li>\n
  4. Why would someone as sweet as Janie not feel sorry for someone like Langley?<\/li>\n
  5. What kind of life do you think Janie\u2019s child would have had if she and Bick would have raised it?<\/li>\n
  6. Is the relationship between Nadine and Doris typical of sisters who are close in age? And what about Maggie and Denie\u2019s relationship?<\/li>\n
  7. If Doris would have stayed in Rayes County what would have happened?<\/li>\n
  8. What was the most compelling reason that Doris decided to leave and did she overreact?<\/li>\n
  9. Was it divine intervention that\u00a0brought Doris to Deely\u2019s door step the moment she arrived in Cleveland? What if she\u2019d met someone not quite so friendly at first? Do you think she would have returned home sooner?<\/li>\n
  10. Should Viola have just taken her secret with her and not told Maggie and Denie? And, did she tell for the benefit of her granddaughters, her daughter or herself?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
